1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Purpose: To report a case of retinal capillary hemangioblastoma (RCH) regression in a patient with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease following treatment with systemic belzutifan. Case presentation: A 49-year-old female with VHL disease presented with a retinal capillary hemangioblastoma in the left eye that had been previously treated with laser therapy. She subsequently developed a new retinal lesion and interval growth of a renal intraparenchymal mass, for which systemic belzutifan was initiated. Four months after treatment initiation, a reduction in the size of the retinal lesions was observed, along with decreased perfusion and vascularity. Conclusion: Systemic belzutifan therapy for VHL disease may induce regression of retinal capillary hemangioblastomas and can be effective as either a primary or an adjunctive treatment modality.
